Hello,

I have an XT1562 single-SIM. I unlocked and rooted the device using TWRP 2.8.7-v2 and SuperSU 2.46.

Since I read rumours that this will prevent the OTA MM update I would like to update by flashing the new firmware.

This forum is a great source of information, but that information is scattered all over the place. I have read dozens of topics and hundreds of posts, and still have some questions :confused:. I hop this post will lead to the answers...

Do I need to upgrade TWRP to 3.0.0-r2 before upgrading the firmware?

Do I have to uninstall SuperSU first?

Can I skip the fastboot erase userdata step?

Will flashing bootloader and image re-lock the bootloader?

If I want to keep using TWRP, do I need to skip the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img step?

Thanks,

GeWe

Just wanted to get some extra information that may assist others in replying to this thread my good friend.

What version of software are you running? (Brazil Retail, Europe retail, Asia retail, Canada retail, USA or a Carrier branded version)

I will attempt to answer your questions as best I can.

1. I don't believe you need to upgrade to TWRP 3 to receive a MM version. I am running 2.8.7.0 IIRC and am running MM just fine.

2. You need to be completely stock to receive an OTA update. ie, no custom recovery and completely stock firmware. In Fastboot it should say "Stock" next to "Software Status" instead of "Modified"

3. You can when flashing original stock firmware, I don't recommend it though as I have had bootloops in the past. Best to backup and completely start fresh.

4. You don't need to relock the bootloader. I did this on a Moto G and then had to get the unlock code again to go back to custom. It doesn't completely relock anyway, it still says Status 3 I believe and shows the bootloader unlocked warning.

5. Again, best to flash completely stock then flash TWRP recovery.

All that being said, your best bet is to use the Stock backups in TWRP and restore from them. I used the Canadian one and am running TWRP with Canada firmware and haven't looked back. I will get you the link shortly.

Edit: this is the link. I used the Canada firmware in this thread and restored on my phone. Works great.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the software version. Apart from the recovery it is running the stock ROM, Android 5.1.1, European retail verion. (Baseband version is M8936_2020613.22.03.21.33R LUX_EMEA_CUST.)

After some more searching I found another thread that contained a link to the reteu OTA file. I followed the instructions there and now I have 6.0 running.

Some more love for our Mako! Thank you!

Any chance to go official?

Should be possible; but it totally depends on candy team.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
Thank you! Could you tell me if the "cast screen" options works on your end?

I can't check that. No way to cast the screen :crying:

Don't worry about it I'll test asap and report!

EDIT: just flashed, I can confirm that mirroring works as expected! ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
Ehi! These aren't real bugs.. But I want to report them anyway!

-White text on light background with some contextual headers

-Old KitKat signal icon appears while switching from WiFi to 3g

-Old aosp sounds (notifications, lock/unlock, etc) instead of marshmallow default sounds

Otherwise the ROM works flawlessy and without major bugs

Thank you! ;)

GMAIL App started crashing suddenly

I installed the latest build and the GMAIL app started crashing suddenly. I flashed CandySiX-1.0-mako-UNOFFICIAL-0213 & BaNkS_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_1-26-16_15-04.

Tried clearing data, cache, factory reset. It didn't resolved the issue. Reporting this issue for you to check the same. I am no more with this OS now and hence will not be able to provide you any logs for that matter. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I'm using the same build. Haven't faced any issue. You need to look in to that. May be a clean flash would solve it :p

I'm also interested interested in the way you are flashing the ROM and gapps
[Nexus 4 Android Development] anshuman27:
GMAIL App started crashing suddenly

Some pointers. I remember this issue started suddenly the moment after the Layers were configured. Also tried specifically below things and even they didn't help.

1. Clean flash (factory reset)

2.. Installing just GMAIL app after a clean flash without flashing the said Gapps package

3. Installing the latest version of GMAIL app, above one was one version prior to this

4. Completely removing the GMAIL app and clearing the cache using Avast Cleanup

Hope this helps!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] isaias1983:
I have the rom installed as secondary with multirom.so i dont know how to change kernel in secondary rom.is there another way to have double tap to wake???

I can see the options in settings but every time i opened it goes off when i enter the settings menu again...why the put an option if it cannot be done?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] isaias1983:
I tried both taurus and quanta kernel and when rom is starting i have wired colors at screen.like negative or inverted from normal colors...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
That's why the ROM has some CAF stuff inside.. I solved flashing the CM version of the kernel.. but I don't know if it is the best option...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Man, I'm building from the Candy source. Have not changed anything in that. So all the options which are there would come as they are. This is working on other devices but not working on mako as [MENTION=4973320]str3tch72[/MENTION] said above this is related to kernel :silly:

Did you flash the right version? I have seen such issues when you flash CM kernel on AOSP ROM and vice versa.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
May be related to the layers? What layers did you use?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
hi [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] I found another small graphic inconsistency in status bar.. while the bottom of the "3G" icon is alligned with the bottom of the battery icon (in portrait mode), the "H+" one isn't...

here's a screenshot! ;)

P.S: the ROM is very good if I find only this kind of "issues"

after reboot its stuck in bootloop.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I flashed it before posting, it took 3-4 seconds for starting apps but then it was up and running.

What gapps are you using? Do a cache and dalvik wipe and reboot
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I just reflashed to check if something is wrong, but it worked this time too...

[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I too used Bank's dynamic gapps (although mine are older 15-12).

Do you have any other ROM on your phone? If yes, try and flash it. Check if that helps. If that doesn't, then return to stock using this guide and start over.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] oliver7:
yes, i tried other roms, and also went back to stock lp 5.1.1 using nrt already. didnt help. thx.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
what recovery are you using?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Pteer Griffin:
used opengapps micro without issues.

In the about phone screen, the security patch level said Jan. 1, 2016. Candy hasn't been merged with the latest r22 sources?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No, they haven't. There github is silent in these days. Don't have much updates on the status of the ROM...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] oliver7:
twrp 2.8.7.0 or 3.0.

Seems that you have problems with drivers, Make sure you use flashtool 0.9.18.6

http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows_prev.php

A better solution is to use pcc to repair your phone, but will take some time downloading FW from Sony servers:

http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/

Edit: From your flashtool log, it seems that you already use version 0.9.18.6. as I said this could be drivers problem or bad or incomplete ftf file.

There's two solutions for that:

1-

2-

Try PC companion instead to repair your phone, and to do that just follow these steps:

1- Uninstall flashtool, drivers, etc..

2- Download PC Companion from here then install it.

3- Turn off your phone by pressing the small yellow button on the back until it vibrats 3 times.

4- Open PC Companion on your PC.

5- Start "Support zone" and wait until download finish.

6- Next, choose "Phone Software Updates".

7- You will see a message asking you to connect your handset while powered on, just ignore these connection instructions. And press the blue link which states "Repair Phone/tablet”.

8- Follow on screen steps appear next.

9- When you asked to connect your phone (still powered off), make sure that you press and hold the key stated on screen before connecting the phone and keep it held down as you connect.

10- The repair process should now begin. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisi ker:
pc companions says ur phone has a can not be changed firmware, can not update. error :(((

im tryed again only selected system.sin from ftf, waiting 30 minutes but not happened, so unplug phone :(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisi ker:
yes, problem was solved.

im tryed install twrp.img via fastboot mode but again error (many links), i remove battery and try again . this time done. twrp image flashing succesfull. so, try install stock rom with twrp but cant booting screen. and go back recovery install cm 12.1 , for a while cm12.1 installed. but my twrp is disappeared. i open my phone try install with rashr app but give me error :( (img is big 16 mb your partition 0 mb ) and try fastboot again says many links error....

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahaa7:
I've noticed a strange issue with location services on my Edge. When I have the location mode set to "

GPS, WiFi and mobile networks

",

with WiFi turned off

, sometimes apps detect some (basically random) location, 10-20 kilometers away from where I really am. Once it even detected I was in Tokyo, and I live in Europe. This most often happens when the phone has been locked for about an hour or more. What's also strange is that, once that happens, after I close and reopen an app (say, a weather app, which uses location) a few times, it detects the correct location. And then if I lock the phone and unlock it after some time, the app will again show the wrong location.

I've also noticed this doesn't happen with the Google Maps app, it always detects the correct location. Maybe the issue is with that particular location mode (which is supposed to be "high accuracy", lol). But, on the other hand, I don't see a reason why that would be the case. Could it be something with cell towers reporting wrong location?

I've tried resetting the phone, and restoring my data from backup, but it didn't change this behavior.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What might be causing this and how to fix it?

EDIT: A quick side question: is there a way to revoke the permission you have to give to Google to use that "high accuracy" mode?

Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice.

P.S.: I'm using stock firmware (5.1.1) with no root.

Hi all

my brother just bought LG V10 and the sound quality is great and so was mine until i started listening to music with V10

i know it has an extra sound chip but i really think that Z2 has the potential to be that good too

the question is how can i get the most audio quality with Z2 ?

which headphones do you recommend ?

i have the standard MH410c headphones that were in Z2 box , should i get the noise cancelling headphones ?

is there any software modification i can do ? (i currently use stock firmware but its rooted)

I bought the noise cancellation earphones and they are really good. The sound it's really great for me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokiwipeout:
There are 3 things you can do as far as I know

-> Buy a better set of headphones

-> Buy a dac

-> Use software such as viper4android or sound mods.

In my opinion, you should start by fiddling with the software because a good pair of headphones is pretty expensive, and so are most dacs out there
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zspitter:
what headphones are recommended with z2 ?

sony noise cancelling ? or can i buy a pair of good yamaha headphones and expect improved quality too ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icegustpl:
About DAC - if you want to use it, you should use digital connection between phone and DAC. How you gonna to do that? As far I know the only way to do that is connection by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth but if you choose A2DT you loose quality. I don't know any DAC with Wi-Fi connection. In iPods you just make line out cable and than connect DAC by that. I really want to know any line out before amplifier in Xperia.

Sound mods are good enough for speaker, but it's can't do better sound on poor headphones. Start with that. Of course you can try some mods, but I think, and I'm telling that as drummer and sound engineer, that can't really help. Built tools in our phones are just enough.

I recommend to try AKG K518. But if you want in-ear headphones you can try noise canceling sony ear buds. But that's one have a lot of high frequencies and built-in equalizer haven't enough bars to equalize it. I was using a lot shure E2C and ultimate ears fi but that's IEM (in ear monitors) so that's have nearly flat frequencies response with cut-down high frequencies.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokiwipeout:
Well, you are going to spend a lot of money if you want to buy a good pair of headphones...

Probably more than 50€...

Plus, the headphones that came with the phone are pretty sh!tty, save for their noise cancelling feature, which in my case is fairly useless anyway.

However, if you are intending on buying expensive headphones, make sure that they have either a fairly low impendance, or get a dac. The phone might not be able to drive the headphones, it is somewhat common with truly expensive headphones.

As another one said, there are USB OTG dacs too

But they are fairly expensive as far as I know

I use AKG Y50BT with APTX. Just a suggestion.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knutselmaaster:
The basic earbuds without noisecanceling that come with the z2 have a terrible quality, Sony should be ashamed of themselves to include such worthless junk with a flagship product.

I bought the noisecanceling ones lately, just to try as they are for less than €30 including shipping on amazon and they do sound a lot better.

Still, earbuds and good sound quality just don't go together in my humble opinion. Although I have never tried high end earbuds, the sound of big 40 or 50mm headphones is just so much fuller and more complete that I cannot imagine those tiny things capable of that.

Plus that over ear models are a lot more comfortable if you listen for longer periods.
